Tyson Fury couldn't remember how many times he was knocked down by Deontay Wilder

Tyson Fury wanted to retire from boxing after forgetting how many times he had been knocked down by Deontay Wilder in their trilogy fight.

The 'Gypsy King' is regarded as the leading heavyweight in the world and has made a U-turn on his plans to retire this year instead accepting a voluntary defence against Derek Chisora on December 3 at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. Fury defeated Dillian Whyte in his mandatory defence in April, which came after an epic third meeting with bitter rival Wilder last October.

After recovering from two knockdowns in a heavyweight classic, Fury landed three knockdowns of his own en route to a thrilling stoppage win in the penultimate round to settle their rivalry. However in a worrying account of the win, Fury has revealed he suffered short-term memory loss shortly after the final bell with the events of the fight foggy in his mind.
